OK - I’ll make no fuzz about it. I am really excited about Scrum and what it can do. But now after two complete days with mr Scrum, Ken Schwaber, i am completely turned around. It was as closed to a religious wake-up as you will ever come without God.
I can’t imagine how development can be done with certainty, speed and most of all FUN - in any other way… Also I am a bit embarrassed about the way I’ve counted and tried to predict everything in advance - just half a year ago.
The big differences are also the easiest - things like that people can take care of them self, change will always (ALWAYS) occur.
So as long as I have a say in the question I will always conduct my projects as Scrum projects from now on. There is really no other way if you want quality. If I don’t have a say i’ll still try to run them as Scrum projects, just because I know it’s best :)
